Your mom goes to parts polishing college.
Does anyone feel like a polishing wheel gets their aluminum looking too shiny? I hand sanded and used mothers polish on my 360 and it gave me more of a brushed look.
Also, The fork boots make it very difficult to run a front fender. They may be coming off if safety becomes an issue. Too bad, I feel like they sorta pull the front end together aesthetically.
Thanks for checking in you guys. I love the feedback.
I'll probably go with some inexpensive dual sport kenda rubber like this. . This bike will never see a trail. I know, it's sorta like locking a neighborhood cat indoors.

I've already ditched the tail light you speak of for the bates style one. That one was too good to be true. However, I may leave it as a marker light. It came from Dimecity.
Never thought this day would actually get here. It feels good to have power. I've gone through every wire and the only thing giving me trouble is the horn and a loose hi beam switch.
